4/04/2009 - Shahubiddin Yakub Quraishi

Shahubiddin Yakub Quraishi is one of India's three election commissioners.

A career official, he is keen to throw off the dusty image of his bureaucratic profession.

He reveals that he plays guitar and keyboards in a rock band, a pursuit he says he finds most therapeutic.

And it could be the perfect antidote to organising the hundreds of millions of voters who go to the polls this month in the world's biggest elections.
